Pirating a program with the intent of using it to make more pirate copies available. The classic example of this is Photoshop. When a script kiddie wants to setup a warez site he goes to an existing warez page and grabz (sorry) a copy of Photoshop and uses it to make buttons for his own warez site. He then redistributes the copy of Photoshop he got from the original warez site on his new 31337-appz page.
